Truck drivers..RUINING MY LIFE!!

This is probably the darkest day for my precious car!! I cannot believe it man, first scratch!! When I found out much much later, whoo, my heart really sank! Bloody truck drivers! This is what happened..

Today it was MUFY games day, so I didn't have classes today so I decided to go to my dad's factory to continue my work. So I took a slow drive down to Klang, enjoying Michael Buble. Anyway, after reaching Klang, then I've to turn out to another exit to get to my dad's factory in Meru, so I go to the first lane and follow a huge truck behind. At this time I was only going at about 60km/h. Then suddenly, the bloody truck roll over either on a tree branch or a wood plank, but because his bloody tire is already bigger then my car, that branch or plank flew up after the tire roll over it and that bloody piece flew towards my windscreen like some bloody missile. Well, reflex action took over and I swerve my car to the left and then suddenly a loud "thud" right next to my ear, it was so loud that it stunned me a second, like a gun shot, I thought that plank hit my door glass, but it didn't. So after I reach my dad's factory, came out of my car and as i'm closing my door, my heart sank to the ground! I found this uber ugly scratch right on top my door handle..

I really wanna cry already man...so damn frustrated!

Sigh, putting that aside, this morning I went to breakfast with Ben Lee in the Curve Mc D's, actually not really in the curve though. But anyway, when I was driving out to the highway, I saw a couple of "No parking" signs and a "30km/j" sign below it. And then I remember what Nian King told me, and I found this..

If you look closely enough you'll notice a sign is missing below the no parking sign. If you're wondering what happened to it, visit RVN's blog..

It's been 14 days..

Wow, it's been 14 days, that means 2 weeks, or half a month, since the last time I update my blog! I also really don't know why, is it because I'm too busy? Or just plain lazy. Nowadays I can't realy differenciate, sometime I'm just so lazy to do anything, and end up just lying around letting precious time just fly pass me like that. Or sometime I'm so busy, until I don't even have time to eat, or have time for anything or anyone else. I still have work, probably only can finish my project in 3 weeks time, or more. Hopefully less, but with college life now, I only can go to work on weekends, or sometimes only on Saturday as there won't be anyone in the office on Sunday, only the factory.

From my dad's factory, scarry huh!? I took the pic abit too late, before this the white smoke was worst, almost covering the whole factory..one of the machines got problem..


So what have I been doing since the last time I blogged? Well, college has already started for me, I'm in Sunway College now, doing MUFY program. Well, college life is totally different then school life. I've to go college everyday at 8a.m., first class at 8.30a.m. and ends at 4.30p.m.. But I have a 1 hour and 3 hour break inbetween, and I really have no idea what to do during this time.

So other then that, what have I been doing? Well.. I have some pics to show and share what I did during this 2 weeks..

Yes! I've been reading. This is a REALLY good novel. And I will never would've touched if it wasn't the novel for my english class. But once I started reading the first few pages, I couldn't stop. And the ending..well..is really good!


Last Friday we had steamboat in church! Well, is actually the opening for this year Cell Group. So, to celebrate, we have a feast!!

Yummy..


Err..bee hoon + tom yam soup + chicken soup + 3 raw eggs = curry mee look-a-like!


Someone better teach Nigger not to play with his food, or more like his pudding..


I somehow like this picture. I leave it to your creativity, or should I say "naughty" minds to imagine what is it la?!

On Saturday, well, is a day to remember..let me show you this picture first..

Me : *passes this mechanical pencil to the victim (I shall keep the victim's name annoymous, but you can go to Ben Lee's blog to find out!!)* "Eh check this out, mini pringles inside this mechanical pencil..try to press and see..it will come out and can eat one.."
Victim : *takes the pencil from me and amazed by it* "Wow!" , *stare at the pencil and the mini delicious pringles inside it and tried pressing it"
Me : *trying hard not to start laughing*
Victim : *stop pressing and stare somemore and think's* "Why do I have the feeling this won't work out the way I thought it will??..."
Me : *trying much much harder not to laugh*
Victim : *Tried pressing again and only noticed that it is a mechanical pencil and instead of pringles coming out, pencil lead came out!!*
Me and everyone else : *burst out laughing until we almost roll all over the floor!!*.. WAHAHAHAHHAHA.

p.s. : No hard feelings la ok?? Just jk...kakaka.

Anyway, after dinner that night, we went to Alexis in Jalan Ampang..

Yes for those who recognize him, that's Lewis Pragasa (I hope I spelled his name correctly) on the right, what an amazing drummer!!


Lewis Pragasa.. respect man!

About today, well, I installed something new for my baby..

Yep, that's Apexi Dual Funnel open pod performance filter! And the improvements? Can really feel more power when pick up, and also more "growling noise" from my engine during high RPM..muahahaha. Pretty eh. The ram pipe so striking red, custom made!! XD


A pic of my whole engine. Check out my dual air horn below..kekeke. Gonna install Iridium performance spark plug tomorrow..muahaha.

And...today I finally got my MUFY T-shirt, and is SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY DAMN UGLY!!

Seriously man, this grey with this kind of yellow color on this type of font? They think we are some cheerleaders! Sigh, have to wear this nightmare every Monday!!

Well, that's all I have to update for the things that happened this 2 weeks.

Here is some other pictures..

Aunty Wai Yee, tai kar che of YF, also my che che.. but I know I look more older and mature then her..kakaka..

"Jeff, how's your results?", me : " ... "

March 13, Monday, 11.30a.m., SMKDJ...how can I forget this time, day and place?!?! Went to school and take my SPM result. Probably the nicest part of that day is I get to meet all my friends, missed them.

While waiting for the result, we went back to our 5 Keruing class room. Shucks man, really missed my class, and the people, and the table, and the fan, and the teachers, and of course, sleeping in class!!
Anyway, being ex 5 Keruing's, especially since we're the last batch of 5 Keruing, we have to somehow leave our "mark" right?? Here it is...


Anyway, after taking a few photos and acting like how a 5 Keruing student should, we walked to the canteen to find that the results has already came out!! Oh man, and we were all fooling around in another block. First they were sticking up the names that is in Anugerah Cemerlang, 7A's and above, of course, no need to be bothered about that, my name will never be there.

So wait patiently until they start giving out our results, so find my class, my form teacher, and took my SPM slip.

Here it is, please DON'T ask me how I did anymore after this. Disappointed?? Yes I am!! I didn't really care about the amount of A's I get, but, MY IT NEVER GET AN A...WUT THE HELL WEI??????!!!!!!! That's the MOST disappointing thing about the whole thing, I don't even mind if I get only ONE A, just as long my IT get an A. Sighh. All the while my IT always get A1, even forcast, and a B for SPM. Cannot believe it. Going to send to remark tomorrow, together with my moral. Moral also another one, don't believe I didn't get an A for it! Damn disappointing...

And the rest of that day didn't went well too. At work, we probably experienced the WORST thing ever, 500, FIVE HUNDRED meters of RG-59 COAXIAL cables got tagled up!! SERIOUSLY! I really want to just throw the whole bulk of cables into the crusher and turn it into powder!! Sigh...bad day!

Anyway, back to today, today at least is a better day. I finally changed my head lamp, the whole thing, actually only the left side, now my Philips 4300k bulb looks really nice!! Nice crystal white color...a lil bit of blue tint! Then, I got myself a Stebel air horn!! Wohoo, yes!! But I got a smaller air horn, comes with 2 horns, one for Hi pitch and 1 for low pitch. Mixed together sounds really nice! Is rated 135 decibels at 4 inches! And 123 decibels at 2 meters!! Anyone care to justify it for me?? After installing all this, called Peter (boss of CV audio) to tune my sound system for me, and also do time correction, make the sound center staging right at my driver seat! Spent 1 hour of petrol, and is it worth it?? Yes! Now it really sounds like I'm at the center of the band/concert/vocalist.


My Alpine Type-X tweeter is starting to get warmer compared to the first day, not so bright anymore, it is slowly running it. Must leave my player on more often on louder volume. Need to save up RM2.1k for a beautiful 4 channel Steg amp. Then my Alpine Type-X speakers will really run at it's full potential.

Hmm, that's all I'll blog for tonight, have to wake up quite early tomorrow to go to school to remark my SPM paper. Before I go, here is some pictures..

My room..Probably the most safest place in the world for me..




Oh wait, I just remembered! I just tried to wrap up a box to let Pos Laju send the package to Johor. Well, I finally realize how much effort it takes to wrap up a present! Really wonder how Wai Yee does it for everybody...gifted??

Ms. Green Gayle's B'day...

Haven't been blogging for awhile, been so busy with so many things, actually I can't really recall why have I been so busy. But anyway, I was contemplating just a few minutes ago whether I should update my blog, then Henry kacau-ed me to update, so, I'm here typing this right now!

So highlights of my life since I last blog. Finally managed to fix in sound system for my baby!! Oh yeah, Alpine CDA-9853 paired together with Alpine Type-X SPX177R 6.5" component speaker.


If you're wondering why I never get an amp and a subwoofer, well, this 2 alone already blew my budget by double! So, at first I was prepared to be disappointed, cause I know how important an amp is for car audio, no amp = sucky sound quality (SQ). But after waiting a agonizing 5 hours for my car to be ready, went back to the car audio shop (CV Audio, Uptown, Same row as Brothers. Find for Peter Chong, that place is good!!) and see my baby sitting there with my keys on top and saw the beautiful Head Unit (HU) in place. So, I and Henry got into my car, started the engine, remove some lala CD the workers put in, and switch on "Alicia Keys - If I ain't got you"...and then....whoah...I and Henry was instantly blown away by the SQ! The piano sounds soooo natural (Yee Meng, if you think my Edifier is good, wait till you hear this!!), and the vocals, wohoo!! Impossible to explain it here!!

The highs from the Component speaker tweeter is simply amazing, it isn't too sharp and the frequency curved really nicely, making everything, vocals, acoustic instrument sound so crystal clear, almost as though it is right infront of you. And the midrange woofer, it is made out of Wood pulp, and it really blends well with the tweeters! Helping it to "warm" the sound abit, electric guitars from "I don't need no doctor" by John Scofield and John mayor was utterly too real! Then listened to "Twenty-four" by Switchfoot, for the first time, I actually can HEAR that there is some effects mixed to the voice to give it that "wet, echo-ish" sound. Then listen to "Gravity and I got a woman" by John Mayor, the snare sound is insanely nice man! The beauty of the midrange woofer really shines for this song. Sound so much different then the Edifier bookshelfs. Overall, the speakers is really really worth the money. Again, don't even need an amp if pair with good HU!! Then pop in the new Jamie Cullum - Catching Tales album, wow!! Screw my computer speakers (Edifier)!! They suck so badly now..ahaha.

BUT, tried playing some R&B music with my system, played Black Eyed Peas, and was really disappointed here. Because of the lack of Subwoofer in my system, something is really missing, at least the vocals of the super hot black eyed peas girl is there sounding better then ever! Then next, trying to be adventurous, tried to play DHT - Listen to your heart, again, no bass, sounded too weird. Techno without thumping bass...ahaha. But nevermind, still loving it! But when I can get a nice amp (hopefully Steg) and the 12" JL 12w7 sub, then it is really complete!! Ok, enough for my craze for nice sounding audio system for my car, still can't challenge those rich freaks which have Focal Utopia Berillium...friggin RM13.8k for 1 pair of speakers!


Anyway, today after Church, we went over to Gayle Yeoh's house to have lunch with her, her birthday was on the 11th of March, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAYLE!! Ok anyway, after spending almost an hour deciding where to eat, finally decided on Chili's Bangsar. Nice food, tasty lamb shoulder, wonderful friends, bottomless soft drinks = greatest lunch + thousands of calories!


Parking Chili's. Customers only. Other car will be crushed and melted...riiiigghhhtt!


The girls..


Me and birthday girl..


This little girl was amazed at how Vern Chui laughs..


Gayle was getting too bored waiting for the food to come, nice pic though..

That's all for now, anticipating my SPM result in probably less then 12 hours time, I can imagine Puan Daljit saying : "Jeffrey, here is your results, please sign here"..wohoo, I'll probably run back into my car, crank up Jamie Cullum and only open up my result slip.

Before I go, I feel i MUST put this pic here again..


Guys, girls, NO PANKING please!

8680....

It's been quite awhile since I last updated my blog. Have been so busy this few days, with work, and settling college stuff, and of course, my car! Yes, finally got it! My new baby, have been wanting this car since like when I'm form 3, or maybe even younger, but couldn't remember already! Anyway, now I have it, going to appreciate it and take care of it man!! Here is some pics...





Yep, my number plate is MAV 8680, so next time if you see this car but it's not me driving, then please run him off the road and call me!! Can get reward!! Ahaha. Hopefully it will never get stolen, quite a few people I know have lost their Satria GTI, those stupid idiots which must rob people possesions to feed themselves. GET A JOB!

Anyway, for a 5 years old second hand Satria GTI, surprisingly, this 5 years old car is much much MUCH more powerful then even my mom's Proton Gen-2, so much different!! Really scarry with the amount of power under the hood. I don't even dare to floor it yet. Owh, but my dear friend Bonjomon already did wheel spin with my car even before I even tried it, floor at first gear, wheel spin like crazy, so he lift his leg from accelerator, change to second gear and I think he floor again!! Wah lao, wheel spin AGAIN on second gear!! Heart pain man...ahahaha.

Anyway, going to install sound system in my car later at CV Audio located at Uptown. Probably get a Eton component system or a Alpine Type-X and a JL subwoofer. Can't wait...

My new work place..

Yes, I've just started work again after I've just finished my job with Benjamin's dad. This time, Benjamin and I will also be installing CCTV AGAIN, yes, AGAIN!! But this time, it is for my father's factory.

My dad factory is huge, as in, humoungous! 8 acres of land wasted on manufacturing pipes! Man, the Raw materials store is so big that I think there's even enough space right now to play futsal in it! The office area is also as big, and empty! You can see it in the pics below.

So anyway, after having a meeting with my dad's partner and all his senior electrician, we finally decided on the positions of the camera and wiring works. And guess what, I made a rough estimate on how long of RG-59 (CCTV cables) cables we need, and it came out to a total of about 2.3KM!!! That's quite crazy!! I need 2.3KM worth of cables just for 12 cameras! Thank goodness my dad's electrician will be pulling the cables for us!

So, only next week our realy job really starts, here is some pics of my dad's factory..


Main entrance of Beta Network Sdn. Bhd. ..


RAW material store...Ben was suggesting we can play futsal in here..


On the far right, is where they feed the raw materials. Raw materials will be sucked up to the fourth floor, mix with what my dad claims to be his "secret formula", then pump into four - 5 stories silo outside, before pumping back in to the smaller silo on the left and then only pump into the machine that will produce the pipes..


This is the machine that will produce the pipes. The RAW material in powder form, will be feed to a "Hopper" (those mini silo on the bridge), then will come down to a heater before melting everything, then force it throught a mould, then through a cooler, then to a laser printer (the printer is darn cool!) and then finally to a cutter. The whole machine is 180 feet long!


The cooler section..the one which looks like a long torpedo, left and right..


This is the laser printer! The printer is actually floating about 2-3 inch above the pipes. But somehow when the pipe move past, the printer almost "magically" print those letters out from thin air. Really tempted to put my finger there though..


The rest of the factory:






You wouldn't want to mess around in this area. If you drop inside to the machine on the far right (can't really be seen in this pic), you'll "somehow" turn into powder!






Yes, this is the office! So much empty space! Acually there is a number of staff behind the green panel la, got another bigger space on the right..


A random pic..
